Dog Boarding in Asheville
Supervised Play & Cozy Cabins for Your Pup’s Asheville Stay
When you’re away, you want your dog to be happy, safe, and surrounded by people who care. At Camp Bow Wow® South Asheville, we provide dog boarding that feels more like a vacation at Camp than a stay in a traditional kennel. Dogs enjoy all-day play with friends, then rest in cozy cabins at night.
We understand it can be stressful to leave your pup, whether it’s for one night or a longer trip. We support an easier separation with plenty of personal attention, supervised group play, and a clear process that shows you exactly what your dog can experience. From the first Camper Interview through pick-up, we treat every dog like part of our own family.
Our Camp Counselors monitor pups throughout the day, encourage healthy play, and keep a close eye on each dog’s comfort level. With safety-focused procedures, a fun open-play environment, and web cameras that let you peek in during play hours, you can stay connected to your best friend while you’re away.
Call (828) 624-2780 or book online to reserve your pup’s stay today.
Supervised Play, Cozy Cabins & All-Inclusive Care
Many pet parents in Asheville look for more than a basic kennel with short walks and long hours in a crate. Our Camp is designed as a dog hotel with daytime engagement, socialization, and thoughtful care. Dogs spend their days playing in spacious indoor and outdoor play areas rather than watching the hours pass by from a run.
Our all-inclusive pricing keeps things simple for you. Playtime, attention from our Camp Counselors, and time in our cozy cabins are all part of the core boarding experience. Your pup gets an active Camp day followed by a comfortable place to rest, without surprise add-ons for those included services.
Transparency matters too. Our web cameras let you check in during play hours and see the environment your dog is enjoying. You can also contact our team when you have questions about your dog’s stay.
What Overnight Dog Boarding Looks Like
During the day, dogs join suitable play groups, where they can romp, sniff, and socialize under the watchful eyes of our Camp Counselors.
Daytime Play, Meals & Rest
Throughout the day, we rotate play with planned rest times so pups don’t get overtired. Dogs enjoy time in our indoor and outdoor play areas, then take breaks in quiet spaces where they can relax and recharge. We follow your feeding instructions carefully and work to keep mealtimes similar to the schedule your dog follows at home.
In the evening, after a full day of activity, dogs head to their individual cozy cabins. Each cabin offers a private space where your dog can unwind. Evening cabin time gives Campers a dedicated period for rest before the next day’s activities.
For extended stays, we pay close attention to how each dog is adjusting. Some pups settle into Camp life quickly, while others may take a little longer. Our team monitors appetite, energy levels, and behavior so we can adjust rest periods as needed and update you when you check in with us.
Overnight stays at Camp typically include:
- Access to supervised indoor and outdoor play areas
- Individual cozy cabins for nighttime rest and downtime breaks
- Feeding according to your instructions and schedule
- Attention from our fun-loving Camp Counselors
- Routine monitoring of behavior and comfort throughout the stay
If your pup has specific feeding or care needs, share the relevant instructions with our team before the stay.
Group-Play Safety at Our Asheville Camp
Safety is central to our overnight dog boarding process, especially when group play is involved. Every new Camper completes a Camper Interview before joining the play yards. During this visit, we learn how your dog interacts with people and other dogs, which helps us understand their temperament, play style, and suitable play-group placement.
Our Camp Counselors remain present in the yards while dogs play together. They guide interactions, monitor body language, and watch for signs that a dog is unsure, tired, or in need of space. When a Camper needs a break, we can provide quiet time before determining whether the dog is ready to return to group play.
We maintain clean, well-kept play areas and use secure fencing and gates throughout the Camp environment. Planned rest breaks are also part of the daily rhythm, giving dogs opportunities to pause between periods of activity.
Web cameras provide another way to stay connected during play hours. You can watch your pup in the play environment, and our team is available to answer questions or provide updates about the stay.
Doggie Boarding for Asheville Trips & Weekends Away
Doggie boarding at Camp Bow Wow South Asheville gives your pup a consistent place to play and rest while you’re away. It’s an overnight care option for one-night plans, longer vacations, and other times when your dog can’t travel with you.
Our setup combines supervised daytime play with the comfort of overnight cabins. That mix can suit active, social dogs whose families are hiking, exploring nearby areas, or taking longer trips out of town. While you follow your travel plans, your dog follows a Camp routine that includes activity, meals, rest breaks, and cabin time.
Related services such as grooming or training sessions may also be available during a boarding visit. Ask our team which services are currently offered and whether they can be scheduled for your dog’s stay.
Getting Your Dog Ready for Camp
We usually start with a Camper Interview, which allows our team to meet your pup, learn about their habits, and see how they do in our environment. This visit supports suitable play-group placement and helps us prepare for the first boarding experience.
When you book, we’ll walk you through our policies, answer your questions, and can help you choose available dates, especially around busy travel seasons. We encourage Asheville pet parents to plan ahead for holidays and popular vacation times. You can also ask about scheduling a tour to see where your dog will play and sleep.
Here’s a simple checklist to help you get ready:
- Confirm your dog’s Camper Interview and required vaccination documentation
- Pack your dog’s regular food and written feeding instructions
- Bring any allowed medications with clear written directions
- Include a collar with ID tags and any approved comfort items
- Review drop-off and pick-up times before the reservation
Before arriving, confirm current requirements and ask us about food packaging, medications, comfort items, or anything else your dog may need during the stay.

Camp Bow Wow requires all boarding dogs to be up to date on their DHPP vaccine to keep them healthy and able to play safely with other dogs. It’s recommended that the Leptospirosis vaccine also be included annually, as it’s more common, can be deadly to dogs, and can spread to humans.
The DHPP vaccine protects against four serious and highly contagious diseases: Distemper, Hepatitis (Adenovirus), Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus. These illnesses can affect a dog’s respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems, and can spread quickly between dogs, making vaccination important.
Puppies start the DHPP series at 6–8 weeks old, with two boosters given at 3-week intervals, followed by a third booster a year later. Adult dogs receive booster shots as recommended by their veterinarian, with the Distemper and Parvovirus portion typically given every 1–3 years.
In addition to the DHPP vaccine, the Rabies and Bordetella vaccines are also required for all boarding dogs at all our locations. For more information on our vaccine requirements for dog boarding, contact your local Camp Bow Wow.
